Vybz Kartel Murder Plot Foiled In Prison

The Correctional Service Department has uncovered a plot to kill Kartel.

Kartel and three co-accused were convicted last year and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Clive Lizard Williams.

According to well placed sources, prison personnel uncovered the plot to kill Kartel.

It reportedly involved an ancillary worker and a fellow inmate at the Horizon Adult Remand Centre.

According to our sources the ancillary worker confessed that she was directed by the inmate to pick up what was purported to be two bottles of lotion and three ratchet knives.

The bottles are reported to have contained poison which is said to be able to penetrate the skin.

She managed to smuggle the items into the high-security institution. Following investigations the items were discovered in a section of the facility.

The ancillary worker was accosted and she later confessed to being involved in the plot to pass the items to the inmate who was allegedly planning to attack Kartel when both would be released from their cells.

The ancillary worker has been taken into custody and is expected to be further questioned.

 Pimp C Released From Prison

On this day, December 30, in hip-hop history…

2005: Nearly a decade ago today, the furs came out of trunks and closets and ‘Free Pimp C’ shirts started collecting dust. After serving roughly half of what was an eight-year prison sentence, the legendary rapper and producer sauntered out of a Texas prison to sate the rap world’s thirst for gold grills and gritty naturalism.

Incarcerated since a January 2002 conviction on aggravated assault charges, Pimp C had been critical of Rap-A-Lot’s cash-in project, The Sweet James Jones Stories, comprised of unreleased material from years prior. Claiming to have written more than 200 songs while behind bars, the world’s most visible Might Ducks Of Anaheim fan was eager to rejoin his UGK partner Bun B.

The first UGK release after Pimp’s release, 2007′s double-disc Underground Kingz, was the duo’s most acclaimed since 1996′s Ridin’ Dirty, spawning the hit single “International Players’ Anthem,” to date the last commercial release to feature Outkast’s Andre 3000 and Big Boi rapping together.

Upon his release from prison, Pimp C was set to be on parole until late 2009. However, he would never complete this term; Pimp passed away in 2007, the result of a promethazine and codeine overdose in concert with his existing sleep apnea. He was 33.
